I’ve been using the DVR feature of Plex since the first beta version, and it replaced an aging Mac+EyeTV setup I was using before. Bought a HDHomeRun device, and I’ve been pretty happy with the setup since the beginning. The main issue I have with the DVR feature is the EPG. For one of the channel I record a lot from (Télé-Québec), the EPG data is very bad. It’s missing a lot of shows (it has holes), and shows will sometimes start at a different time in the EPG than in reality, making me miss a few minutes at the beginning of the end of the shows I record, or complete episodes.

For quite some time now, Plex has been plagued with a bug preventing Google Chrome users from watching YouTube videos they saved into their Watch Later queue. Being a fan of Chrome (I’m not using anything else really), Plex, and their Watch Later queue, which I populate using both IFTTT (widget: IF new RSS item THEN send email to [my_plexit_email_address]) and their Plex It! bookmarklet, I decided to further debug the issue.

I’ve been using mint.com since 2010. I was happy with the service; it worked pretty well, most of the time. But recently, I decided it just wasn’t worth the risks. So I unlinked all my banking accounts, and then deleted my mint account. Since then, I replaced it with a custom solution: my own mint.com alternative. In no particular order, here’s what I did / how it works. My banking credentials (usernames, passwords, security questions answers) are stored only on my (Mac) computer, in Keychain.
